    <description>When using associative dimensions in paperspace, dimensions that are attached to elements in modelspace do change automatically when those elements change. However if I xref a file into modelspace and dimension xref elements in paperspace, when the xref changes the dimensions do not automatically adjust. Any ideas on how do I correct this?</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Seems to work fine in Autocad 2016 SP1.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;All Paper Space&amp;nbsp;Dimensions created / set to "Associative=Yes".&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;System variable Dimassoc = 2&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Save xref base&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Command: XREF - Reload Xref base in Layout dwg&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Command: DIMREGEN.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Is it possible that you're not editing / updating the "Associated objects" but rather creating new objects?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In other words, lets say there are to&amp;nbsp;parallel lines drawn 10 units apart and they need to be 15 units apart.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If I offset one of the original lines 5 units in the xref base file and erase the original line which was offset, I've just broken the association and it will no longer update.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If I move or manipulate the original line, the association remains and updates as expected.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>The elements that I am moving are blocks of steel shapes. and Dimassoc is set to 2. I just tested it and made sure that the dimension is snapped to the steel shape.</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I did not test it with blocks, are these Dynamic Blocks which resize with various parameters, or are they being moved with the MOVE command?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;After reloading the Xref, did you also try the command DIMREGEN?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>They are not dynamic blocks. I also added dimensions using column centerlines in the xref but this did not work either.</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Is it possible to run dimregen automatically?&amp;nbsp; If a change is made to the xref and saved, then a file is opened will dimregen automaticcaly adjust the dimensions?&amp;nbsp; Is there a way to run dimregen automatically when opening drawings?&lt;/P&gt;</description>
